Are Dyson the Best Vacuum Cleaners That Money Can Buy?

When James Dyson set out to create a bagless vacuum cleaner driven by just a cyclone of air he started on a path that would revolutionise the way vacuum cleaners looked and worked forever. Whilst more expensive than the vast majority of their competitors Dyson cleaners promise uncompromising suction from the moment you switch it on. It is in absolutely no doubt that many other manufacturers have witnessed the performance from the range of Dyson hoovers and many have brought out similar bagless models. These competitors are usually at a lower price point than the equivalent Dyson cleaner so is there still a reason to purchase the more expensive Dyson model?

Advantages of Bagless Vacuum Cleaners

All Dyson hoovers are bagless which has a number of advantages over bagged cleaners. Anyone over a certain age will almost certainly remember the old vacuums used from twenty to thirty years ago. These were commonly either upright cleaners or cylinders that had very few attachments and tended to lose suction quite quickly. You then had to take the device outside whilst the bag was removed, if you did it inside you’d end up scattering dirt and dust everywhere again which kind of defeated the purpose, and then replace the half full bag you’ve just removed with a new one. Bagless hoovers, like all Dyson models, are much simpler to use. As there is no bag the dust and dirt is gathered in a, usually, see through container and once full is simply removed from the vacuum and taken outside to the rubbish where it is emptied with very little fuss or mess. Bagless vacuum cleaners, like the Dyson models, do not lose suction so you can continue to use them until they are full. You do not have to replace expensive bags so the running costs are lower and it is easy to remove the dust container and clean it ocassionally to keep it looking like new.

Should You Buy Dyson Instead of a Competitor

Given that the majority of Dyson’s competitors quickly caught onto the revolution they worked tirelessly to catch up with the pioneer and soon began to release competitive models. One downside of a Dyson vacuum cleaner is the price as they tend to be a bit more expensive than other brands. Dyson have managed to retain their number one position however as the recognised brand leader by boasting ever improving suction along with other enhancements such as the rollerball vacuum cleaner. This model replaced the traditional base unit with a roller ball, the idea being that the hoover became instantly easier to maneuver than traditional models. So the end result comes down to brand versus price.

Visit our website to see a wide range of Dyson Vacuum Cleaners and more reasons why they remain the market leader in bagless technology. You will also find a wide number of articles on Vacuum Cleaners Reviews including all the major brands and models.

Is the Dyson DC15 Animal Worth the Money?

Is the Dyson DC15 Animal Worth the Money?


Is the Dyson DC15 Animal Worth the Money?

Posted: 01 May 2011 10:40 PM PDT

The Dyson DC15 Animal is powerful, easy to maneuver, and, like many upright vacuums, more effective on rugs and carpet than most canister vacuums. Consumer reviews of the Dyson DC15 Animal Cyclone upright vacuum cleaner are generally very positive although there are several issues on which there is some criticism.

Ease Of Use

Consumers particularly favor the model’s ball navigation, a concept by which the Dyson DC15 moves about on a single ball, making it easier to maneuver around corners and furniture than is usually the case with the conventional upright. At almost 20 lbs, the DC15 isn’t a lightweight but it is still light enough for most households. As far as stairs are concerned, the extension wand is reported to be very effective and the Dyson DC15 receives high marks for ease in dumping the contents of the canister. According to a number of independent vacuum cleaner reviews the model is extremely easy to use in almost all respects.

Power Issues

Consumer reviews addressing the power and suction of the Dyson DC15 Animal Cyclone tend to be a bit subjective, as might be expected. Some consumers indicate the suction to be superior to that of other vacuums while others express the opinion that it is not as powerful as other Dyson models. It should be noted however, that the Dyson Cyclone technology is regarded as being quite innovative and effective, resulting in a product line featuring some very powerful vacuums.

Noise Issues

Another set of consumer comments that tend to be on the subjective side has to do with the noise of the vacuum. There are several comments indicating that the DC15 has an unusual whine. This seems to bother some people and not bother others. The general consensus however is that the vacuum is neither more nor less noisy than other vacuums.

Price Range

According to many consumer comments, sticker shock tends to evaporate once the vacuum is put to use, with most purchasers being surprised and highly pleased by the amount of dirt picked up from rugs and carpets initially believed to be “clean”. A top-of-the-line model, the DC15 is priced in a range from $579 to $599, and therefore isn’t an impulse shopper’s usual pick. In any event it’s always a good idea to study a few vacuum cleaner reviews before making a purchase of this amount. The price however is not out of line for a quality vacuum. Unfortunately this model is fairly old now and refurbished units are often all that can be easily found. These typically go for $200 to $300.

Features

The Dyson DC15 has a 0.71 gallon dust bin and a lifetime certified HEPA filter, meaning it will trap the very smallest of particles rather than recirculating them back into the air. The unit also comes with a low-reach floor tool and an optional mini turbine head for removing pet hair from confined spaces. The DC15 carries a 5-year warranty.

Availability

The DC15 isn’t listed by most of the major retailers, however there are a number of Internet discount retailers that offer the model.

Emily has been researching and writing about vacuum cleaners for a full three years. This author provides many vacuum reviews and vacuum buying tips on her multiple appliance review sites as well as expert reviews on specific vacuum models such as the Dyson DC15 Animal.

Russia is well known to be “land of stuff”.

There are many ancient – style products produced in Russia – products, which have very long history.

For example, let us review history of Russian shawls.

At ancient Rus, women should not walk somewhere with un-covered head.This tradition was common before Christianization and continued after Russia accepted Christianity from Eastern Rome Empire (Byzantine). According Eastern Rome Christianity, Orthodox Christian women should not enter to the church with not covered head.

This fact caused popularity of shawls in Russia – and they are very popular till nowadays.

Predecessor of Shawl was Ubrus – common wear for many Indo-European nations.

Ubrus is the veil – was a cloth kerchief made of linen or fine silk. It was often embroidered in a colored pattern at the ends.

It was wrapped around the head and went under the chin where it was pinned together. One of the ends hung down to the shoulder.

It was approximately 2 meters long and 40-50 cm wide. The veil was either pulled down low on the brow or tied up higher so that the front part of the povoinik could be seen for a little more ornamentation” (Stamerov, 1978; in Kiev`, 2000).

Tradition to wear Ubrus is still common in many Salvonic nations, it is still used at India and has a long history, which is not well known, but probably come to the days of eldest Middle East civilizations.

Another example of specialty Ethnic goods is Russian perfumes and Eau De Colognes.

Let us say, Troynoi (Triple) Eau De Cologne.

It is known due to the fact it is father of all Eau De colognes – it is original “Cologne water” produced due to Napoleon decree of 1810.

This scent was very popular – Napoleon used it too and during war of Napoleon with Russian Czar first Eau De Cologne appeared at Russian Empire.

In 25 years since Napoleon invasion Henry Brocar – French living at Moscow, established perfumeryfactory and most popular Eau De Cologne produced was “Scent of Napoleon” – Troinoy.

And – surprise – scent remained practically unchanged since Napoleonic war – it is in fact, the same since 1810 !

Scent include Lemon, Bergamot, Neroli. Name Troinoi (Triple in Russian) was given exactly due to 3 scents used. Even label and bottle still made in old traditions of 19th century Brokar factory. This Eau De Cologne was very popular in Napoleonic times Russian army, than – at 1st worls war times army, and finally – Russian revolution have not destroyed this scent – it was popular and still popular in Russian army.

Same as of still produced perfume “Red Moscow”. Before revolution this scent was named “Favorite Bouquet of Empress”. And it was really so – they was named this way due to the fact, it was favorite scent of Katherine the Great!

Interesting history stands behind Russian Linen – made table runners. Issue is – they embroidered with same technique as thousands years ago and there are many special symbols embroidered. Scientists still does not know for sure – what does that symbols mean.

Long time ago, before Christian times, that symbols had religious meaning. Russian linen – made items (and Russian linen is still best in the world) was used for special purposes, and still used for wedding, for baptizing child. Symbols were religious, but persons who embroider them nowadays hardly know all the meaning – usually they follow traditions of ancestors.

Tips On How To Maintain A Smell-Free Vacuum Cleaner

Tips On How To Maintain A Smell-Free Vacuum Cleaner


Tips On How To Maintain A Smell-Free Vacuum Cleaner

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 04:40 PM PDT

Are you constantly plagued with a smelly vacuum cleaner? It is actually normal for a cleaner to stink. After all, it is used to pick up dirt, bacteria and other unnameable micro organisms.

Maintaining your vacuum cleaner is a constant process. You would want to regularly check the parts if they are working properly. However, if you want to keep it fresh-smelling all the time, here the tips that will prove useful to you:

1. Clean the attachments

Fill up a bucket with warm water and add a cup or two of Lysol. Soak the attachments of your cleaner for about 15 minutes. They should be disinfected in no time. After the allotted time, remove the attachments and let them dry properly.

2. Clean the brush roll

Many people complain that their vacuum machine smells like their dog. If you have pets at home and you use this cleaning machine to pick up pet dander, it will surely stink like your pet. Try cleaning the brush roll. Remove collected pet hair. Remove the brush roll from the machine and soak it in soapy water. Use a soft-bristled brush to get rid of stubborn hair. Let it dry completely before installing it back to your cleaning machine.

3. Avoid picking up spilled liquid and food

They can turn rancid in your fridge. You would always want to pick up dry dirt. Wipe the floor first with damp cloth to get rid of the spill. After doing so, wipe it again with dry cloth. Resume vacuuming the floor to remove collected dirt particles.

4. Don’t forget to discard dirt in the bag

If you are using a bagless cleaner, it should be no trouble to dispose the bag. But if you are using a bagged vacuum cleaner, you should take responsibility in remembering when to dispose the contents of the dirt receptacle. Some people store their cleaner in the attic or in the garage and they just remember to remove the contents of the dirt receptacle when it is already starting to smell funny. When this happens, remove the remaining dirt and clean the receptacle.

5. Use home-made vacuum fresheners

To freshen up your smelly machine, try using fabric conditioner sheets. Crumple it and throw it inside the bag or the dirt receptacle. You can also soak a piece of wax paper in lavender essential oil. Let it soak for about 15 minutes. Hang it up to dry. Place the scented wax paper in the filter compartment of the machine.

I would like to share more about the benefits of using Dyson ball vacuum cleaner. For more pertinent details about this powerful cleaning machine, check out http://www.vacuumadvisor.com.

Anti-Allergy Mattress Covers

Anti-Allergy Mattress Covers

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 09:40 AM PDT

For some reason that is not yet entirely understood, there are more people suffering from allergies now than ever before. Some scientists hypothesize that the reason for this growth in sufferers from allergies is the raised pollution in the air we breathe and the raised use of additives in the processed foods we eat. However, there could be another reason too.

Our houses are better heated than ever before and are virtually hermetically sealed. This permits insects and especially mites to live with us in bigger numbers and for longer than ever before. It is feasible that we, all human beings, have become sensitivized by the huge number of mites living with us. The dust mite is the worst culprit. Fleas, their feces and their eggs are second, followed by other creatures such as bed bugs and their feces.

So allergy sufferers are now getting problems from pollen and pollution while they go outside the house and from dust mites and other insects if they stay in. So, what can allergy sufferers do about it?

There are a number of things to test out. Some are expensive and others are practically cost-free. An air conditioning system with an anti-allergy filter is the costly option but it will help against airborne dust and bug feces kicked up by dusting, brushing and vacuuming.

A bagless vacuum cleaner like the Dyson will also help collect these flying allergens or a wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner will help you wash the crap out of your carpets as well without kicking it up into the air.

Carpets are a major source of allergens and so are pets, but an unforeseen source of grief for many people is their bed. Again it is the dust mites which are the main culprits. They like to live in your bed and eat the dead skin that has dropped off you.

There is nothing you can do about shedding skin, we all do it and we all have to do it and you will never stop all dust mites. The aim is to hold their numbers under control.

A fairly inexpensive way of doing this is by fitting an anti-allergy cover to your mattress. An anti-allergy mattress cover is a finely-woven sheet that fits over the mattress. This sheet is so finely woven that insects, bugs and mites cannot get through it from the mattress to get to you.

Now this does not stop dust mites breeding on top of it, so for it to be effectual, you have to wash it every week as you do the rest of your bedding, but at least it is easier than sanitizing the mattress, which most people do not do from one year to the next, which is why the dust mites can increase to outrageous numbers giving an increase in problems for allergy sufferers.

Therefore, if you think that an anti-allergy mattress cover will help you, you should purchase two so that you can have one on the bed and one in the laundry.

Vacuum Cleaners Ratings – Consumer Reports is Reliable

Vacuum Cleaners Ratings – Consumer Reports is Reliable

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 09:40 PM PDT

The vacuum cleaners ratings can be broken down into best buy for the money and lightweight, top of the line, and robotic.

The best bang for your buck from a dependable manufacturer is the Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900. This upright vacuum only weighs 16 pounds which makes it easy to push and maneuver. It can do its job on both hard wood floors and carpeting, all for only around $75. The only mentioned drawback is the 25 foot cord which does limit the area of cleaning slightly.

The top of the line is a Dyson DC25. This, like all Dyson vacuums, always performs excellently. This bagless upright never loses suction. The hinge is a ball that many consumers find easier to maneuver than other styles. This model is light-weight, only weighing 16 pounds. This vacuum works great on carpeting, and by disabling the brush, cleans bare floors without a dust cloud. All Dyson vacuums come with a 5 year warranty which is rarely needed because of the quality construction. The down side is the price at $500 or more makes this an investment of capital.

If you are tired of pushing around a vacuum, then the iRobot Roomba 560 is for you. This saucer-shaped device scours the floors constantly looking for material to pick up including pet hair. The only instruction this vacuum needs is to be turned on. When it needs to be recharged, it returns to its docking station. When the bag is full it stops, other than for those two instances, it is always on the prowl for dirt.

These vacuum cleaners ratings can assist you when it comes time to choose your next cleaning device.

There are so many choices out there when it come to selecting a great vacuum cleaner. Many people just buy vacuum cleaners without knowing the first thing about them, and end up paying way to much. Don’t make a mistake and invest in the wrong vacuum cleaner for your family. Find the best type of vacuum on the internet at http://www.bestvacuumdeal.com.
